Application Med June 17. 1925. Segal No. 37,658.

. v The present invention relates to door lamrs and is more particularldirected towa a of iloor lamp in w 'ch the lam bulb anshade may beupwardlydirecte 5 as in a torchire, or-in which the lamp and shade maybe downwardly directed as in a bridge lamp. c Y

An object of the present inventionr 1s to rovide a convertible .lamp ofthe above ty e in which the lamp bulb, the socket and t e shade ,are suported on a frame pivoted to one side of t e lamp standard so that theymay be bodily movedr to direct the shade upwardlguor downwardly, asdesired. l5. A rther object of the invention 1s tol provide an im rovedassemblage of lamp socket and sh e by which these parts may l be mountedand assembled as`a unit; and in which the shade may be readily removed.

2 5 present invention mayta e form, it being understod'that the drawingsare merely illustrative of the invention, rather `than limiting thesanjie. f v

tached to the hinge member 14 and extend across to the o posits side ofthe U-shaped upper end of t clamp standard. As here shown, this `framework includes 'a sheet metal stamping 17 'to the center of which thelamp socket is attached and securely fastened bya nut-18, and areenforcing ring s desired and screws periphery of the disk sha dstamping. .This stamping `may a 2'ma'y bepasse through the rmg theperiphery of the stamping and into the hinge member, 14 so as tosecurely attach the stamplng to the hinge member. The reenforcing rin-may be attached in place by soldering or screws, as desired. Y l

T e ringl `19 is preferably somewhat .narrcwer than the outer wall ofthe stamp?l so as to provide ashou'lder 21 a inst w 'c the lower portion22 -of a sha eframe 23 may rest.` A convenient' way of removablyfastening this' shade frame inplace is to pro 'de' the shade frame @tharms 24 which are ttached'to a ring 25 carried underneath athreaded rin26 which is vadapted to coi operate with t e thr'eads 27 ,on theordinary lamp socket.

This hinge member may beshaped, as indicated, so that it acts as a stop when the lamp is loweredto the dotted line position.

It is obvious that the invention may be embodied in many forms Vfandconstructions riind I wish it to be understood that the particular formshown and described is butone of the many forms. Various modificationsand changes being possible, I do not 1n any wa limit myself with respectthereto.
